b. Request to Close Rt. 738, Robinson Tract Road, to Tractor Trailer Traffic – Mr. Rick Stevens has requested consideration be given to closing Route 738, Robinson Tract Road, to
tractor trailer traffic.
c. Request to Add Waterview Lane (Private Road of Rt. 757, Beach Drive) as a Rural Addition - Mr. Mark Hines of 7030 Waterview Lane has requested this road be paved. Due to it being a private road, the road can be added to the rural addition listing for viewing this spring.
d. New River Industrial Park Access Road – I am meeting with Mr. Brugh this week to review the status of the road completion. A report can be made on the anticipated timing.
e. Rural Addition Request, Riverbluffs Subdivision – Ms. Emmons of the Riverbluffs Subdivision in the Cloyd District contacted both our office and VDOT residency staff contact Larry Day. She requested Cedar and Hillside Lanes be considered as rural additions. These roads
were viewed in 1997. Our records indicate there is a prohibition on the
subdivision plat for these private roads being taken into the VDOT system at public expense. We understand Mr. Day has recommended to Ms.
Emmons that a request be made to the Board of Supervisors for the roads to
be viewed as rural additions. Unless the plat recommendation can be removed, consistent with the subdivision ordinance, viewing does not seem appropriate. The resident engineer might
be able to provide clarification.
f. Rt. 784, Old Route 100, Connection to I-81 - Enclosed is a letter from the Honorable Shirley J. Ybarra, Secretary of Transportation, pledging some support for improved access from the industrial park and Volvo area to I- 81. It is recommended that cost estimates on the improvements be requested. I anticipate
the portion that is proposed for secondary funding to far exceed the county’s
annual secondary road budget. Therefore, I expect the Board will want to work with industry to secure additional funding.
